Good Morning Thursday 9th May 2024

Good morning from s somserset, I am looking forward to a very beautiful sunny day with perfect temperatures for me and the plants

I was very active all day yesterday, got aerobics done on my bike, followed by lifting and pottering in the garden. I took a chance and all my veg are now sown out or transplanted. Anyway they will grow their roots down all week and all I need to do is float around with the watering can, I have big trugs and they get dry

Nothing active to do today, a rest day with lots of reading and glasses of water while sitting outside

Have a good day

Good morning from Malta where it is cloudy and only 18°C.

We had a decent amount of nice, clean rain yesterday and the boys enjoyed watching it fall in the puddles as we looked out of the window.

I’m just about to leave home to watch the boys, it’s our long day today and not looking like we will get out again due to the weather. Never mind, we still find lots to do to keep them busy.

Enjoy your day Mick, sounds like a nice evening you have planned.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from a bright Bristol. Wasn’t it lovely yesterday?
I hope you have a good time tonight, Mick.
I had a busy day yesterday. I went to Waitrose first thing, then to morning prayers on my way home. It was my book group in the library in the next village in the early afternoon. The discussions on the futuristic detective story were pretty interesting and lively, though one member didn’t contribute much. Done it.
Early dinner, hurried to meeting place for a convoluted journey through rush hour Bristol, collecting two WI members on the way. Nearly an hours journey to Chipping Sudbury where the quiz was taking place. To my astonishment, w3 were sitting behind the table where one of my Spanish colleagues was sitting! My table didn’t disgrace itself coming in the middle. Came home very late (for me).
Today should be reasonably quiet with an early podiatrist appointment, indoor tai chi then dinner and child minding at DD’s this evening. I’ll have time for a nap.
Enjoy the sun ☀️ Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a rather overcast part of the Irish Sea on our way to Belfast. A rather nostalgic trip for me as my late darling Dad was from Holywood (sic).

Yesterday was a sea day so we were out of range of a signal for most of the time. We had a relaxing day which suited me, being somewhat tired from the previous few days of preparation.
The layout of Borealis is very different from Balmoral which we’ve experienced regularly but we are gradually managing to orientate ourselves! The standard of service is as good as always with Fred Olsen with smart, attentive staff for whom nothing is too much trouble.

A few photos taken as we left Southampton……

Have all are well and you have a good day. 💐🛳️🥂

Good morning, a lovely sunny day ahead I hope!
Yesterday I took the dog out early, walked with a lady who lives around the corner from me. The dogs enjoyed a chase around.
I spent the morning ironing, swopping over my summer clothes and putting away my woollens in airtight bags.
I will do a pedicure today and paint my toenails so I’m all set for the warmer weather ( I bet it rains before long!!)
I’d like to sit outside later, in the shade, and enjoy the lovely weather.
I hope you all can enjoy it too 🌹

Good morning all I hear the birds singing this morning I’ve a couple of doves cooing they’re so beutiful
It’s to be a cloudy and dry day here on the east coast of Fife.

Bellasnana have a great day with your twins, I know you will, they are so handsome and playful

Blessings everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire where we are forecast another lovely sunny day.

We had a lovely day yesterday meeting friends and then a visit to the garden centre.I am looking forward to a day at home today.DH has a blood test and then will spend the day in the garden.I am on a three month course of tablets and have been advised I should ‘protect myself from sunlight’🙄so will be mainly indoors.Not the best time of year to avoid the sun🤦🏼‍♀️

I hope Grammaretto is feeling better and all others unwell are on the mend too.

Lovely pictures Ash👩‍❤️‍👨

Thinking of all our absent goodmorningers.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from my patio swing seat in Cornwall where the mist is so low I can feel it on my hands, very unusual. A sunny day promised. No gulls anywhere which is strange and so quiet! The roses climbing down from the wood, the huge self-seeded foxgloves and my chives are about to flower. Lovely.

I'm going to take some retreat days in these weeks before my knee op, to reflect and refocus, so will be here intermittently for a while.

Good morning everyone from my last morning on Adventure; shall be sorry to say goodbye to this lovely ship and its always attentive smiling crew. Just having my morning tea.

Yesterday I finished off the packing, attended a lecture on the history of Forensic Medicine, had an early lunch, then found a sheltered corner on deck in the sun to sit and read. A final last drinks and dinner with new friends and then decided to have an early night.

Will go for a light breakfast shortly, then be ready to disembark at about 8.30am. Should be home by early afternoon if the traffic allows.

Have a pleasant Thursday everyone.

I had an empty glass yesterday, but it was soon refilled! Also, my after dinner tipple - an espresso Martini!

Good morning all from North Leicestershire where there is a bit of sunshine appearing intermittently through the clouds.

I have a pedicure at 10.00 and DH is going to try and get a gp appointment.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cloudy South Yorkshire. Enjoy your show in London, Mick; have fun! I have walking group this morning and then lunch at DD’s. I’ll call at the garden centre on the way home. I need to replace my delphiniums which all succumbed to the wet winter, and buy a couple of heucheras.
Nice photos, Ash.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all and it looks like another lovely day.

My lovely girl didn’t arrive yesterday as her toddler has chicken pox. We rearranged. So I spent most of the day cleaning and tidying the house. We have visitors coming on Saturday, so always a good time for a ‘spring clean’. 🤣.

I picked up little gd from school and she stayed at ours for tea, before taking her home. Dd is exhausted after all the dancing show shenanigans. She now needs to relax and rest.

Today I’ll go to bowls and then on to Sainsburys and m and s for food and treats.

Enjoy your last few hours onboard, Bluesapphire. Thanks for taking us on your lovely trip with you.🛳️

Mizuna your garden sounds magical. Enjoy your rest and reflection.

Ash and oldudders enjoy your cruise. 🛳️ .

Enjoy the day the best you can.🌸

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright corner of Somerset.

Thank you all for your good wishes yesterday. It turned into a full day including a beach visit where we were surprised to look out at sea mist from a sunny shoreline. Far too much cake was consumed at different points in the day. I arrived home to find a delivery of flowers and an afternoon tea box from family which fortunately will wait a few days as we’re out for afternoon tea today. Oh dear, I can feel my clothes shrinking. We do now have many plants to settle into place over the next few days. It will take a while. Phone calls from friends and an evening visit from our teenagers with beautiful flowers from their Mum who is away from home at the moment concluded a very pleasant day.

Thank you for sharing you’re wonderfully memorable cruise bluesapphire, enjoy every minute of yours ash, hoping for sunshine for you.

As ever my thoughts go to poorly people and those with worries. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Morning al from a sunny S E Essex, the forecast up to and including Sunday is warm and sunny 🤞

Not sure what my plans are, but I definitely need to sort out my paperwork drawers 😱

BlueSapphire thank you for sharing your cruise with us.
Enjoy your cruise Ashcombe

Have a great day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all, from a cloudy Glasgow,nowhere its is 11°C.

A busy day ahead for us, DS is dropping off Babydoll at 8am.
We had been hoping to go out, but yesterday, I was struggling badly with walking. My legs just wouldn't do what they were told. At least we have a big garden!

I wish you all a pleasant day and best wishes for any appointments.

I have just reported another batch of SPAM threads. They are relentless.

Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s a little bit cloudy at the moment, but the sun is due out later
Enjoy your cruise Ash thanks for the lovely pictures
Thank you for all your cruise pictures BlueSapphire I’ve really enjoyed seeing all the places you’ve visited
A bit of catching up in the garden this morning and then picking up DGD from school, taking her to after school activities and then a sleepover here
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from the Black country where the sun is shining.
DH appointment with the diabetic nurse yesterday didn't happen some sort of emergency at surgery so they have rearranged it for today, we will go shopping afterwards.
Welcome home BlueSapphie have enjoyed sharing your cruise.
Mick have a lovely evening.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Looks nice outside. I love May.
I got up yesterday and did a few things. I even planted out the peas and beans but I don't feel quite better yet. Thanks Susan and others for your kind get well messages.

There are several things in the calendar today. I'm not sure what to cancel.

Your cruise has been wonderful Bluesapphire thanks for sharing it with us.
I hope Ash will enjoy hers as much.
Enjoy your big night out Mick

Marydoll Enjoy your time with Babydoll. I hope you don't feel too tired.

Your birthday sounds lovely corner

Don't overdo the Spring cleaning folks. Find time to relax.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11° and sunny. It brightens the spirit to see the sun. Mick enjoy your evening. Ash lovely photos. BlueSapphire thank you for sharing your cruise with us. Susan* what a shame that you have to stay indoors.
Yesterday was a day in the garden. I met my new neighbour across the road. They are a youngish family and seem nice. I made pizza for dinner and used pesto as a base but it tasted a bit overpowering so the rest is going in the bin.
Today I will be in and out of the garden again. I'm deliberately having a quiet week because next week I have the boys four days instead of two. 😱 So this week is the calm before the storm. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. DH has his first cataract operation today so we are getting ready to go, it will be good for him to get this all done and dusted.
Enjoy all your trips, holidays and busy days.

Good morning from a warm sunny Suffolk after a lovely day yesterday.

I think I’ll have to skip my Stretch class this morning as DH has to take his car into the garage to sort out the air con and he’ll need a lift home. I
It’s only 4 miles away and he doesn’t think it’s worth booking a courtesy car when he’ll only need it for the journey home and back to the garage to collect it. So I’m his chauffeur.

The ironing pile is still glaring at me so I must demolish it today. I haven’t read your posts but noticed some lovely photos as I scrolled through so I look forward to reading them on my return from the garage,

Hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Bright and breezy today.
I’m off to meet a friend for a walk and some lunch then will come back and get some jobs done.
I’m going away tomorrow to Northumberland for the weekend so need to sort out some walking gear etc.
Have a good day everyone.
